- If equal masses of O2 and N2 are placed in separate containers of equal volume at the same temperature, which of the following statements is true? If false, explain why it is false. (a) The pressure in the flask containing N2 is greater than that in the flask containing O2. (b) There are more molecules in the flask containing O2 than in the flask containing N2.arrow_forward57 What volume of hydrogen gas, in liters, is produced by the reaction of 3.43 g of iron metal with 40.0 mL of 2.43 M HCl? The gas is collected at 2.25 atm of pressure and 23 C. The other product is FeCl2?arrow_forward47 HCl(g) reacts with ammonia gas, NH3(g), to form solid ammonium chloride. If a sample of ammonia occupying 250 mL at 21 C and a pressure of 140 torr is allowed to react with excess HCl, what mass of NH4Cl will form?arrow_forward
- Plot the data given in Table 5.3 for oxygen at 0C to obtain an accurate molar mass for O2. To do this, calculate a value of the molar mass at each of the given pressures from the ideal gas law (we will call this the apparent molar mass at this pressure). On a graph show the apparent molar mass versus the pressure and extrapolate to find the molar mass at zero pressure. Because the ideal gas law is most accurate at low pressures, this extrapolation will give an accurate value for the molar mass. What is the accurate molar mass?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is(are) true? a. If the number of moles of a gas is doubled, the volume will double, assuming the pressure and temperature of the gas remain constant. b. If the temperature of a gas increases from 25C to 50C, the volume of the gas would double, assuming that the pressure and the number of moles of gas remain constant. c. The device that measures atmospheric pressure is called a barometer. d. If the volume of a gas decreases by one half, then the pressure would double, assuming that the number of moles and the temperature of the gas remain constant.arrow_forwardHydrogen gas is used in weather balloon because it is less expensive than Helium. Assume that 5.57 g of H2 is used to fill a weather balloon to an initial volume of 67 L at 1.04 atm. If the ballloon rises to an altitude where the pressure is 0.047 atm, what is its new volume? Assume that the temperature remains constant.arrow_forward
